How do you leash train your cats? I've put a harness on Sunny thrice, but he either crawls around or scratches at it every few minutes. After a while he'll get stuck with it half off and I feel sorry for him and take it off. He seems to mind collars more and since he's an indoor cat, I think I'm going to forget about the collar. Any ideas for the harness?

All the cats I've 'trained' I've just put the harness on and taken them right outside. Once outside they soon forget about the harness and get about exploring and walking more normally.

with some you do as above ... others you place the harness on for a few minutes a day gradualling working up to like 20 minutes then add the leash for a few minutes and work up .. then take them outside

I was able to just put on the leash and go for it. I worked on the house first, then moved outside. Depends on the cat I am sure.
